Note the equating of "veneration" with "worship" by Cardinal Antonio Bacci, in his devotional material. Although "worship" is further parsed into dulia and latria (veneration vs adoration), Cardinal Bacci specifically refers to the act of bowing to, and the act of praying to saints as worship...
The worship of the Saints is an act of veneration (dulia), not of adoration (latria), which can be given only to God.

Dictionary.com gives both “venerate” and “adore” as synonyms for “worship,” and in fact the word itself comes from the OE meaning “to render honor to”. So your point is, I take it, that the original poster used the word “worship” carelessly, when he should have used “adore”?

He’s not equating it. Worship is to show honor to someone. He is defining what KIND OF HONOR.
